a Displaced Heart.
st. Louis Globe Democ a..

st. Louis GI0De Dem0G a..
A peculiar case of abnormal chest de-
Yelopment has Just been passed upon by
the supreme medical director OF the Le-
giCn OF Honor. The csse is that Of G St.
Louis gentleman, we'll known in mercan-
tile circles, who had passed medical ex-
animation in several life insurance COM
panies, in which he had q membership.
He had been admitted into several secret
societies st different times during the
last fifteen years IS sound man in
perfect health. The medical ez-
sminer of this candidates. counsel
had passed him as healthy person
but had accompanied the certificate
with note to the supreme medical eZ-
eminer that there was huge chest con-
veXity. The lstter examiner, after three
examinations, refused to pass the man
with the distended bosom. and this WAS
the cause for three visits of committees,
who insisted that their convex chested
friend ought to pass because he was
healthy and likely &c oufliye many OF the
more regularly formed members. But
the decision Was adhered to, and the man
is out of membership in any of the bene-
ticiary life orders now. The lateral dome
extends forward OF the mans arms
beyond the normal chest line distance
about equal TO three-fourths OF
the depth Of the body, natural
size. The heart is forward to the right
side in the dome, greatly displaced; the
lungs are crowded; the liver is over to-
ward the left side, aud it crowds the
stomach badly. The ribs and sternum
are firmly set, making the convexity per-
manent, as, in fecS, it has been since the
man was quite boy. His coats and vests
are all made to order. He eats well, gets
sound sleep, IS strong, and unless sick
ness overtakes him and makes short worF
Of his life on account of those crampeC
vitsl organe, he bids fair TO live IS long
as any other person in st. Louis. Pneu-
monia or consumption would be likely t
kill him in very short time.

GOOD ROADS.

"The value of good roads," says the
Springfield (0hio) Farm and Fireside,
sis seldom fully appreciated. They not
only directly increase the value of the
land through which they pass, in the les
SEEMING Of the cost Of placing its produce
upon the market, but indirectly they serve
as stimulus TO greater neatness in the
arrangement ana management of farms
and buildings, and to the use Of better
methods in agriculture. The urPainted
house and the unkempt lawn, the trash
Uttered barnyard and the brush-grown
fence rows, that were in entire harmony
with the meandering 'dirt' road with its
ruts, stumps, stones and mudholes, look
strangely out of place when this prim-
tive highway, has been replaced by the
turnpike, with its straight, smooth road
way; and the facilities which this road
offers for getting out ct all times to see
what one's neighbors and the world Of
large sre doing, and for bringing these
neighbors past ones own fields, soon
breed discomfort with slovenly methods
of management and cultare which was
undreamed of before, and the result is
that the greater neatness Of the farm, and
its greater productiveness under better
management, add more to its value than
even the better market facilities which
the new road affords. The foregoing is
no mere theory. The writer has watched
the transition Of large extent Of country
from region OF clay roads, muddy most
of the year, and almost impossible in the
spring, to one OF hard, graveled roads,
upon which full load may be drawn any
day in the year, and the result is just
thaE described" Good roads do for the
country what railroads do for the town.
They revolutioniZe the habits and meth
DDS bagotten OF isolation. Once accesgi-
bic to the world, people are brought in
contact with improvement and advance
ment and prosperity follows. It is sorry
civilization that contents itself with
abridle psths'' or dirt roads that are nav
igsble only in summer. Much OF the dis
content that obtains among the people OF
the country would disappear with the
benefits thss follow the opening OF good
roads.

BAD AS TRAIN ROBBING.
A Dallas Jeweler Relieved OF Diamonds
TO the Extent of Over Seven
Thousand Dollars.
One Crook Looks at Clocks While Another
Fills His Pockets with ear and
Finger Rings.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEN, Oct. 27.-This evening at half
past 6 o clock the jewelry store Of T. A. Webb
on Main street was robbed of diamonds and
jewelry amounting to over $1,000 in value. The
e!rcums iances as told to GAZETTE reporter by
E. Roberts, a salesman in Webb's store, were
as follows: About O'Clock p. N. Roberts
went to supper, leaving Mr.. Webb alone in
charge Of the store. In few minutes two men
who are described as being tall and bearing the
appearance of seedy looking farmers and who
had apparently noticed when Mr.. Roberts went
them asked to see some clocks. Mr.. Webb,
taking him to back corner of the store where
the clocks are kept, paid no attention to the
apparent customers companion who began
looking around with with a countrymans curl
osity. He did not begin business operations at
once, as James Arbuckle, young man OF this
city, came in and asked to see music box
| which Was pointed our to him by Mr.. Webb
Ia the meantime several parties assembled
| in front of the store and in the
doorway and began talking, but in no way
to excite suspicion. In few moments young
! Arbuckie left the store, and 1t Ia supposed the
man then went behind the counter where the
diamonds are Kept, and falling on his knees,
that he might not be detected, opened the case
and taking from It two trays, one of ear rings
and the other of finger rings, all set with dia
monds, emptied the valuab es on the floor, put
as many In his pocket as he could comfortably
| do, q nd then quietly left the store, The party
! to whom Mr.. Webb was showing the clocks not
finding one to suit, the two returned to
the door at the front entrance of the store,
where the former left Mr.. Webb. On returning
to the inside of the store and going behind the
counter, Mr. Webb saw the empty trays and
several finger rings scattered on the floor,
when the thought Il shed through his mind that
he had been dipped and robbed. At the same
| tine he noticed that the crowd in front OF the
store had y.terlously disappeared, which
confirmed his worst suspicious. On examining
his losses, Mr.. Webb found jewelry
missing valued all the way from So to $1,000
the total loss being over $40 lie quickly no
titled the officers of tbs affair and 1t was hoped
that arrests might be made on the departing
| Texas and Pacific freight train, which leaves
| cleWs as to the perpetrators had been secured.
Mr. Webb is very popular with the people OF
Dallas, who deeply rympathize in his loss.

abiding Ysopso-DrtDkIng Water.


abiding PeopSe-DriDktDg Water.
BY PROFESSOR W. HUDSON OF TRINITY
UNIVERSITY.
It is probable that much Of the sick
ness with which some members Of the
human family are sometimes afflicted may
be truthfully attributed to impure drink
ing water. It is fact that water par
takes more or less of the vegetable, ami
nal and mineral matter through which it
percolates. Water that tastes of am
monia has passed through some decom-
posed vegetable and animal matter, and
such kind of water is dangerous to drink.
Much well water is made impure by
throwing dirty Stops and incl an wash
ings Of the hands, or any part OF the BODY
Of sickly or diseased persons In the yards
or places near wells. This filthy water
TO q certsfn extent, penetrstes the strata
of the ground where it is thrown, and
when copious rain descends it conveys
this foul water into the water Of the well
or wells, and of course renders it also
impure. Such water generally generates
anamalcul@, bacteria or baclli. This
kind of water, when viewed or closely
examined through the medium OF an ex-
ceilent compound microscope, is fntelli-
gently observed to contain myriad

which, when taken into the stomach With
the drinking water, generally find their

so wonderfully multiply by division or
budding, IS to generate typhoid fever.

philanthropy to be dictatorial, out courte-
ously SO. Don't say, "I know, l know
that the water which ! aud my family
drink Is pure" unless you have tested it..
The organic and inorganic impurities OF

Don't, dear sir, be foolishly unbelieving
like some of the wilfully ignorant. Chem

potassium permangsnate until the whole

place for one hour. II organic impuri-
ties ere present, the solution will be de-

"Second test-Fill bottle nearly full
of drinking water and tightly stopper it.

If an offensive odor emanates from it, it
is an evidence Of organic impurities, and

Though drinking -Yster may be very
cold and somewhat pleasant to the taste,
yet il may be impure. In summer or
IN warm weather, see that the ice is clean

A part of the impurities of bad drinking

GENERAL DODGE: Theoretically the

system is an insurmountable barrier to
